Abstract

A method and system for Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) screening are disclosed. The method comprises detecting at least one physiological signal, converting the at least one physiological signal into at least one sensor stream, and processing the at least one sensor stream to perform the SAS screening. The system includes a sensor to detect at least one physiological signal, a processor coupled to the sensor, and a memory device coupled to the processor, wherein the memory device includes an application that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to convert the at least one physiological signal into at least one sensor stream and to processor the at least one sensor stream to perform the SAS screening.
